Warrant of Fitness

Warrant of Fitness (WoF) inspections are a critical service due to the legal requirement for most vehicles to undergo a WoF check at regular intervals to ensure that your vehicle meets required safety standards.

Q: What is covered during a WOF and why do I need one?

A:. It covers various aspects of your vehicle, including brakes, tyres, lights, and seatbelts, among others. You need a WoF not only because it’s legally required but also to ensure your vehicle is safe to drive on New Zealand roads. Vehicles first registered anywhere in the world on or after 1 January 2000 must obtain a WoF every 12 months. For older vehicles, it’s required every 6 months.
